Special Events at the owens-rogers museum

Ginger Rogers Birthday Celebration

Month of July: Ginger Rogers' Birthday Celebration

Ginger's Birthday was on July 16, 1911. Step back in time and hear about Ginger Rogers' visits to Independence in 1964 and 1994 when Independence declared "Ginger Rogers Day" and President Harry Truman presented the Key to the City to Ginger. We'll have newspaper articles and photos on display in the museum from both of these events. Also see an extra-special display from Roberta Olden's collection on Saturdays only!
